What is the difference between a slope and rate of change?
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.
How do you get the slope of a line on a graph?
Take a tangent at the point where you want the slope. Then the slope of the graph at that point is the slope of the tangent, which is found by taking another point on the tangent and then taking the change in y between the two points and divid it by the change in x.
What is the difference between a tangent and a unit tangent?

Why do slope denoteb by tangent function?
The slope of a line and the tangent of the angle between the positive x-axis and the line are related because the tangent of the angle is defined as the ratio of the y-coordinate and the x-coordinate of some point on the line.
Derivative as the Slope of a Tangent?
Yes, the derivative of an equation is the slope of a line tangent to the graph.
What is m slope?
Slope is the tangent of the angle between a given straight line and the x-axis of a system of Cartesian coordinates.
Is m slope?
Slope is the tangent of the angle between a given straight line and the x-axis of a system of Cartesian coordinates.
How do you find the slope of an Indifference curve?
You find the tangent to the curve at the point of interest and then find the slope of the tangent.
What are the correct properties of slope?
The slope between any two points in a plane is the ratio of the difference in the vertical direction (the rise) and the difference in the horizontal direction (the run). Since it is a ratio, the difference in the horizontal direction may not be zero. However, the slope of a vertical line is considered to be "infinite". With that qualification, the slope between any two points on a plane can have any real value.The slope between any two distinct points on a graph is as defined above. The slope at a single point is defined only if the relevant function is differentiable at that point and it is the slope of the tangent to graph at that point.
Is there a relationship between the sign positive or negative of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x axis?
yes, the slope of the line is the tangent of the angle
Is a tangent a trigonometric ratio?
Tangent is used in calculus to compute the slope of a curve. Because curves do not have uniform slopes, unlike lines, their slopes change. A tangent is the slope of a curve at a specific point.
What is the difference between a tangent and a secant?
They are different trigonometric ratios!
